Sax,

My doctors were considering just leving it alone and keeping me on antibiotics and salt water rinses. They decided to go in and clean it up which involved scraping off the necrotic tissue and filling a dead area with part of my Uvula. I think the cleaning part is helping to speed up the recovery but who knows. I asked the doctor what he thought and he said these things can linger for a long time. He said I could definitly still have painfull ulcers through October.

Under the necrosis is an ulcer so that's where the pain is comming from. I am also back to the magic mouthwash which is helping a lot.
